There are many kinds of transport now. Not like in the past then people reached places by horses, which was non bad. Horse can go fifty fife kilometres pr hour and it is empressive, but sha was dismissed by bycicle, then with train, then with car. And today we can be so fast driving sportcars and even planes, we can fly. Moreover, we now able to tame the space itself. And all those kind of transport we have only two thoursant years.And that is the power of men!
Dear friend,
Imagine waking up one day in a country that you`ve never been to and know no one there. It is an incredible experience, and something that people will remember forever.
Before visiting the country we have some stereotypes about the life there, which are broken after the trip. And England isn`t an exception. People think that the British are hard-hearted and unsociable. But they aren`t. The Russians are always welcome in England. If you ever visit it, there will always be a little part of your heart.
I am very interested in British culture, history and people. So, my visit provided me with a good opportunity to compare what I already know about England with the real life. I am grateful to fate, to my parents and teachers, that in July in 2009, I went to England. This was preceded by years of hard English lessons, a successful passing of international exams of different levels, exhausting trip to Moscow for processing the documents. But at last a group of like-minded people and I are in England ...
It was amazing and immediately struck me. The first days were introductory, and then I could navigate in Guildford, in the city, where we lived. But let me start from the very beginning.
When we arrived, we went to our families. I was inexpressibly glad to meet these people. It was my first experience of communicating with the British. I expected them to be rather cold, full of traditions, but it turned out that they are very kind-hearted and hospitable. Within 2 weeks I lived with the owners of the house (Cranstone; husband and wife) and 2 girls - from Spain (Anna) andTurkey (Oykyu). The first day I was very tired and, unfortunately, was not capable to do something. But the very next day we went on a trip to London.
Arriving there, I was absorbed with the emotions! It was amazing: we were riding on the biggest Ferris wheel, and then went to the Madame Tussads` Museum that I wanted to visit. There I had the opportunity to be photographed with wax figures of celebrities and to go to the room of fear ... it was terrifying, my heart took in heels! It was very scary, but I endured, and then just laughed at the idea of the room. The museum had many interesting things to see.
The next day I went to school for the first time. I had the opportunity to see the conditions in which teenagers learn English. Children at my school were from lots of different cultures, but that didn`t stop us being friends.
At first I could not remember the way to school, but I my neighbor, living for 2 weeks in Guildford, helped me. It turned out that I lived near the center of our town.
On Wednesday, we had another tour - to Oxford. I had a lot of emotions from it. It was just incredibly exciting to look at the famous University of Oxford, which I much heard about! Upon arrival in England it was hard to get used to the language and how to communicate it. I took a very visible difference between the Russian, speaking English and the British. But after the first few trips I used to and learnt a lot. And of course it was great to visit the famous hall, where the action of world famous movie about Harry Potter has taken place. It was just incredibly exciting to feel like the heroine of this film. My dream was realized!
Except trips to other cities I was walking with my friends along the streets of the city every day after classes. They were totally different from our Russian ones. For example, the main street, often called, High Street, was lined with stone, everywhere one could see windows of various shops. It is worth noting that the local bakery was very good, clothes were much cheaper than in Russia, but the food, by contrast, was very expensive.
Это была большая игровая площадка с группой странных детей. Динах посмотрел вокруг. Она думала что дети здесь играют в футбол, пропуская и (здесь непонятно что имеется в виду - видно что есть ссылка на перевод в книге). Она думала что они также рассказывали шутки с пятничного ТВ-шоу.
Но это не было похоже на это. Все дети стояли группами на игровой площадке и что-то говорили. Когда Динах услышала, она не могла поверить в это.
921 на 189
1021 на 210
1121 на 231
Как странно! Она пошла к другой группе. Она думала что они делают что-то более интересное. То что они говорили было странно.
"Виллиам первый" 1066 до 1087
Виллиам второй 1087 до 1100
Генри первый 1100 до 1135.."
Позади ее она могла слышать третью группу.
"Столица Франции - Париж.
Столица Испании - Мадрид.
Столица Соединенных Штатов - Нью-Йорк.
Столица России - Москва.
Столица Бразилии..."
Динах ходила вокруг игровой площадки, ждав звонка.
Нет, Флорида-- это один из штатов США
